CV3011 Tutorial 07 Solutions

The document outlines the design and analysis of a doubly reinforced rectangular beam section for a continuous beam, focusing on serviceability limit states related to deflection and crack control. It includes calculations for effective span-depth ratios and checks for allowable limits on bar spacing to ensure structural integrity. The analysis concludes that the deflection limit is exceeded, but the bar spacing is within allowable limits for crack control.

1. A doubly reinforced rectangular beam section shown in Figure 1 is used in an end


span of a continuous beam. The span of the beam is 10m and it must resist a
design ultimate sagging moment of 870 kNm. The calculated area of tension
reinforcement was 3449 mm2 and four bars (2 nos. 40 mm diameter bars + 2 nos.
25 mm diameter bars) of area 3492 mm2 were provided. The calculated area of
compression reinforcement was 254 mm2 and two 16 mm diameter bars of area
400 mm2 were provided. Use concrete class C30/37 and steel bars grade 500.
Check whether the span/effective depth ratio is within the allowable limit. If
concrete cover is 30 mm, also check whether the maximum bar spacing is within
the allowable limit for crack control.

Solution: Check effective span-depth ratio

For end span, K = 1.3

ρ= = = 1.52
bd 325× 700

fck = 30 N/mm2

From Figure 6.3,

(i) Modification for long span = = = 0.70

As, prov 3492
(ii) Modification for = = 1.012

Hence, allowable span-depth ratio = 18.2 x 0.70 x 1.012 = 12.9

The actual span-depth ratio = = 14.3

∴ The deflection limit is exceeded. 3

Check of bar spacing Assume max crack width is 0.3 mm


(i) Maximum spacing for main tension bars

ρ = 1.52% ( > ρmin = 0.15% )

Assume Gk ≈ Qk and moment re-distribution δ = 0.9
